The Lakes closed out a great weekend at the Tipoff Tournament in Chicago by winning 91-82 over host and conference opponent Moody Bible Institute on Saturday.
Both teams started out shooting the ball very well, and both looked to push the ball up the court quickly in the first half. The score remained close throughout the first half, neither side ever gaining a lead larger than six. The Lakes would lead 49-44 at halftime after knocking down 11 three-pointers and shooting 52.8% from the floor in the first.

The Archers countered with a 15-0 run of their own to put themselves back in the game, cutting the lead to 81-76 with 1:37 left. The Lakes, however, were able to stem the tide and put the game away down the stretch, shooting six-for-six from the free throw line in those final moments to ice a 91-82 win.

The Lakes won their first game of the season on Friday, taking down conference foe Northland International University 79-72 in a close game at the Midwest Region Tipoff Tournament in Chicago.
The Lakes jumped out to an early start, leading Northland for most of the first half. The Lakes led by as many as 13 before the Pioneers started to chip away, levelling the score at 31 with 5:04 left in the half. Northland went on to build an 11-point lead of their own before four consecutive three-pointers helped put Great Lakes back in front for the rest of the half. The Lakes went into halftime leading led 46-43, their first halftime lead of the season.
Both teams started the second half slowly on offence, and the Pioneers took the lead back with 11:15 left in the second half, going ahead 57-54 on a three-point play.

Djuan Williams led the charge, scoring nine consecutive points, seven from the free throw line, to tie the score at 63 with under six minutes left. Shawn Caulton made a three to tie the game once again at 70 with about three-and-a-half minutes remaining, and Tommy Bentley scored with 2:45 left to put the Lakes ahead 72-70.
The Pioneers responded with a basket of their own to tie the score at 72 with 1:40 on the clock, but Williams scored on the next possession to put the Lakes ahead for good with 1:25 remaining. The Pioneers did not score on their next possession despite picking up a pair of offensive rebounds, and on the other end Nathan Shelton buried a three from the corner to put the Lakes up by five with less than a minute to go. The Pioneers came up empty again on their next trip and Caulton hit a pair of free throws with 11 seconds left to ice a 79-72 win for the Lakes.
“The reason that we play this tough schedule that we do is it prepares us for games just like this one,” said head coach John Piercefield after the game, “Even though we haven’t won anything out of conference, we’ve had some bright spots, and we put it together tonight.”
“I think that tonight was a real test of character as well as trust in each other… we look at the stats even for tonight’s game, it doesn’t look like we should have won… but we did, and that shows the heart and soul of this team.”
Game Notes: With the win, the Lakes move to 1-1 in conference play. Caulton and Williams both led the Lakes with 24 points. Williams and Tommy Bentley each had four assists, and Caulton had three steals. The Lakes won the turnover battle 22-13 and shot 12/13 (92.3%) from the free throw line.

The Lakes had a tough assignment on Tuesday night, as they set out to take on NCAA D-II Saginaw Valley State, losing 99-53.
The Lakes fell behind 11-0 right off the bat, and were plagued by turnovers and poor shot selection throughout the first half. The team shot only 7/28 from the floor in the first, en route to a 55-19 halftime deficit. The second half saw a much better performance by the Lakes, as the Lakes out-scored the Cardinals for much of the half and cut the deficit to thirty before a late run by the Cardinals pushed the margin to 99-53 by the end.

The Lakes came up short in a valiant effort on the road on Saturday night, losing 82-59 to Purdue Calumet University.
The Lakes, without anyone active over six feet and one inch tall, had a significant size disadvantage compared to the Peregrines’ five players over six feet and seven inches. In spite of this, the Lakes were very much in it in the first half, trailing 44-30 at the break. The second half saw the Lakes give up a 10-0 run to open the period, but the team responded well, holding serve with Purdue Calumet down the stretch. In the end, however, the size disadvantage was just too great to overcome, and the Lakes came up short, 82-59.
Game Notes: Djuan Williams led the Lakes with 15 points, and Nathan Shelton scored 13. The Lakes were outrebounded by Purdue Calumet 53-20, but won the turnover battle for the second game in a row, 23-22. Shawn Caulton had five steals.

Great Lakes put together a solid performance in their conference opener&#160;against rival Grace Bible College in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, but came up short 93-68.
The Lakes put together their best defensive performance of the season in the first half of the game, holding a Grace team with seven players standing at or above six feet and five inches tall to only 31 points in the first half, and forcing 13 turnovers, including nine steals. Unfortunately, the team struggled scoring on the other end of the floor, and trailed 31-21 at the break.
In the second half, Grace started to find some offensive rhythm, and so did the Lakes. David Parks led the charge on the offensive end, knocking down five three-pointers as the Lakes kept it close in the second. The Lakes trailed 73-62 with about five minutes left before Grace put together an 11-0 run to salt it away en route to a final score of 93-68.
Game Notes: David Parks led the Lakes in both scoring and rebounding with 20 points and five rebounds. Djuan Williams led in assists with seven and in steals with six. Great Lakes won the turnover battle 22-13 on the night, and were out-rebounded 52-19.

Great Lakes suffered another difficult defeat on Saturday, losing to Calumet College of St. Joseph 107-45 in Indianapolis.
The Lakes were in it in the early going, even launching an 8-0 run to bring the score to 17-15 in the middle of the first half. 17 unanswered points from Calumet-St. Joseph, however, created a deficit too large for the Lakes to overcome. The Lakes trailed 56-30 at the half, and the second half did not go any better as the Crimson Wave rolled to a 107-45 win.
Game Notes: Shawn Caulton led the Lakes with 13 points. The Lakes shot 19/68 from the floor (27.9%), while Calumet-St. Joseph shot 38/75 (50.7%).

The Lakes struggled in the first game of their two-day trip to Indianapolis, losing 103-36 to host Marian University on Friday.
The Lakes did not play poorly in the first half, but the combination of size disadvantage and poor shooting saw them down 49-21 at the break. The second half, however, was filled with a host of turnovers and lacklustre offence. They were outscored 53-15 in the period, at one point going over eight minutes without a field goal, en route to a 103-36 blowout.
Game Notes: The Lakes were outscored 21-1 during that eight-minute-plus field goal drought, and 53-12 overall in the paint.

The Lakes very nearly claimed their first win of the season on Saturday against Boyce College on the last day of the Tipoff Classic, but came up just short, losing 94-90.
Boyce jumped out to an early 7-0 lead and held that lead through the first half. The teams traded baskets for the first 20 minutes, including four three-pointers from David Parks, and Boyce led 34-29 at the break. The second half saw Boyce build their lead to 65-51 after three consecutive three-point plays.&#160;The Lakes slowly started cutting into the lead, but by about the seven-minute mark, Boyce had built their lead back up to 81-68.
Great Lakes found their groove, however, and rattled off 14 unanswered points amid a handful of strong defensive plays to take an 82-81 lead with 3:10 left. Unfortunately for the Lakes, Boyce went on a small run of their own, re-gaining the lead, 87-81, and held on down the stretch to win 94-90.
